ted kennedy rode that in 1960.a few days later i walked up to ted and said i understand you talked to myxf,Ñ mother. oh, he said, you know sometimes when you talk to somebody, you can tell how a person is. your mother is so wonderful and gracious, talking about the conversation the two of them had. they had never met before. my mother is a staunch republican, and they hit it off. i told my mother and told her ted kennedy was impressed with the conversation you had. my mom was impressed, and she wrote him a note for praising her to me, her son, a few days earlier. the next things i knew, my mother and ted were pen pals. ted wrote a letter back to my mother. they were back and forth. i would be at a committee hearing some place, and ted would say here is the letter i am writing your mother. basically they were reminiscing about montana and the miles city bucking horse sale. he lived life so full. he loved life, and he embraced life in every way available to a man. he was just wonderful that way. back in 1960 when his

and ted said, why not? ted gotten to a bronc. there is a wonderful photo of ted at the mile city bucking horse sale in montana. somebody had a quick finger. there's ted on this bronc. he was the best bronc rider we ever saw. he sure had a great time on that horse. long and shofort it is, he is a great man for so many reaso and we just -- we love ted for all that he was. again, the greatest legislator i think in modern american potical history. and i just also a so touched with what a family man he was. as the years went by, his brothers tragically lost and all that happened in the kennedy family, ted was a rock to others in the family. he just experienced so much. he'd been through so much, so much tragedy. obviously helped him so much character. and he is more than an icon who fought for causes. he is more than a voice for the commonwealth of massachetts. ages i mentioned, he was a -- as i mentioned, avenues loving son, brother, husband, father. working with him for the past years was one of the greatest honors i've had as a uni

senator ted kennedy made -- ted kennedy jr. made us all laugh and he made us all cry almost in the same sentence. how irish. how kennedy. how true were the emotions of every man and woman in that church from the president to the vice president to former presidents, to senators, to members of the house, t close friends and so so many, many of the kennedy family. i think of being sworn in to this body, madam president, as a 34-year-old nervous senator. one of the fst to came up to shake my hand after being sworn in was ted kennedy. and mike mansfield and howard baker. and i was just. >> ed to think i was in the presence of such people. and thenerving with ted for 35 years, speaking with him almost every single day, i look over at his desk -- something i have seen over the 35 years when we have lost colleagues but i don't kow of any time it has hurt so much to see the black drape across his desk. to see the vase ofhite no white owers. i went by yesterday and put my hand on th on the des i was overcome with emotion and left the flo

in addition to working with ted as a colleague, ted could -- he could get it done. he could get it done. i was always amazed at that. but i also had a different perspective of ted kennedy. i saw him in action before i came to this house. i grew up in the public housing projects in south boston. and i can tell you that whether you lived in the housing pro jects, or mission maine, or franklin field, if you grew up, if your family struggled to make ends meet in public housing, no one in public housing had a better champion, a more valiant and noble champion than ted kennedy. and that's really the first perspective that i had of ted kennedy as someone who was working for our benefit as a family growing up in public housing. and pretty tough circumstances. he was there for us. i also had a perspective of working as an ironworker for 18 years strapping on a pair of work boots. becoming a union president for the iron workers. and i can say from that perspective as well, whether you were an ironworker like i was working in the bidding trades with a lot of my union brothers

and ted said, why not? ted gotten to a bronc.there is a wonderbul pho of ted at theile city bucking horse sale in monta. somebody had a quick finger. there's ted on this bronc. he was the best bronc rider we ever saw. he sure had a gre time on that horse. long and shofort it is, he is a great ma for so many reasons and we just -- we love ted for all that he was. again, thereatest legislator i think in modern american political history. and iust also am so touched with what a family man he was. as the years went by, his brothers tragically lost and all that happened in the kennedy family, ted was a rock to others in the family. he justxperienced so much. he'd been through so much, so ch trage. obviously helped him so much character. and he is more tha an icon who foughtor causes. he is more than a voice for the commonwealth of massachusetts. ages i mentied, he was a -- as i mentioned, avenues loving son, brher, husband, father. working with him for the past years was one of the greatest nors i'vead as a united states senator. and

and ted saidet's go in. so here is my dghter, teaching class, in junior high school, and in walks ted kennedy. and, of course, the whole place falls apart with happiness. he loved doing it. he doe it in the district of columbia, he does it in massachusetts, he is always interacting with students, reads with them and talks with them andearns fm them. the principal ge my daughter a very hard time and he said don't u ever bring a united states senator to my school without telling me in advance. but that is the but thety, no way he could have because he did it as a natural act of ted kennedy. and it was that commitment to service we celebrated just this springhen the president signed the serve america act which unexpires young peoe to serve their country through publi service. there ae aot of ways to remake america but people, as the presiding officer has been in a variety of situaons, peopleone abroad, people meeting other people who are unlike them, living with them, eating with them, sharing with em, coming t

ted kennedy was an american legend. while his last name garnered him a great deal of attention, his career in the senate allowed him to carve his own legacy. the youngest of nine children, he outlived all three of his brothers, joe jr., jack and bobby, he entered the senate in 1962 and over the decades emerged as an influential and iconic figure in the democratic party. i had the privilege of interviewing senator kennedy several times. we often talked about his family legacy and world-famous last name. what is it like to be a kennedy, to be ted kennedy? i mean it. you drive around and there's the kennedy center. then there's the kennedy -- the grave site. it can never leave you. it can't leave you. you live and you work here. what is that like? >> well, i think the first impression that i always had is how fortunate i've been to have grown up in a family and been able to learn what i tried to learn and continue to learn. but most of all learn what i did from wonderful parents and great brothers and sisters. my sisters d

that is ted kennedy.ted kennedy's life was driven by hi love of a family that loved him and his belief in a country that believes in him. ted kennedy's dream was one for which the founding fathers fought and wch his brothers sought to realize. the liberal lines by the war may fall silent but his dream shall never die mr. president. is all this brother killed in world war ton-- world war i, recognizing he would never come back. his brother the president assassinated, h brother the senator running for president assassinated. e liberal line's mighty or may fall silent but mr. president his dream shall never die. >> mr. president. >> the republican leader. >> mr. president too would like to speak about our departed cully, ted kennedy whose passing last month focus the attention of the nation d his extraordinary life has been memorialized over these past weeks in so many poignant stories and heartfelt expressions of gratitude and grief. today the senate also grieves not only beuse he was a friend, but beaause

joining us in new york, congressman patrick kennedy, the younger son of ted kennedy and ted kennedy jrhe older son of the senator. has it all finally set in, patrick? >> no. frankly, larry, it's still a blur. after the immense funeral that took place and the outpouring from the american public, which, quite frankly, was just amazing, beyond any expectation any of us could have ever had, and certainly fitting for our father we felt but certainly something that was beyond our wildest expectations, and then to come back and have the president address the joint session of congress in which he read a letter from my father, you know, talking about the importance of passing health care during this very difficult time in american history, i mean, it's just never ended. and quite frankly, this memoir is an opportunity for us to have something permanently during the long term for us to keep coming back to my dad and reflecting and thinking about what he meant to us. right now, it's still been something that's happened very shortly ago. and it's hard for us to really fully absorb right now. >> la

he had met ted a number of times.when my faer passed away, the first telephone call my mother received that morning was from ted kennedy. and i remember my mother taking comfort in that. senator kennedy's office is just one floor below maudine in the building. both stayed there all these years. many occasions especially going to vote you could hear his great laugh at the wing downhaul. it could change your whole mood, in your day. we spoke,e came back together from pope john paul ii a funeral, stopped to refuel the plane in ireland. there were paintings of president kennedy and my friend from iowa, senator harkin, remembers tha what thrgh the with ted. d and senator chris dodd telling irish stories. these memories going out, when he's walking the dogs outside and just chatting and talking about how is your family? how is this one or that one? we talked about a few days before. after he diedne of the nepapers in vermont h a front-page picture that my wife and myself had taken back i 1968. it showed a young ted kenne in

did he ever talk to you about it, ted? >> yes, he did, larry. years ago he spoke to me about exactly what happened that night. and i knew how sorry my father has been each and every day of his life for what happened that night. if he could undo that moment, he would give anything to have been able to do so. and in this book, as you said, larry, he doesn't make an excuse -- any excuses. he accepts responsibility for what happened. but i think it's what, again, what i talked about in my eulogy. it's what you do with these tragic events that happen in your life that's really the measure of the person. so that is, i this i, one of the things that i think, you know, what i hope is that when people read this book they really judge the totality of the man and come away with the incredible sense of responsibility that he's had for all the people in our society. >> larry: patrick, do you ever buy anything of this kennedy curse thing? >> no -- i mean, obviously there was terrible tragedies, both my uncles, you know, being assassinated so publicly make the

your thoughts on the legacy of ted kennedy?this past year, he has done an oral history project at the university of virginia, working on his own memoir which is supposed to come out in october. this is the legislative giant. people talk a lot about john kennedy, is eclipsed life, and robert kennedy, is eclipsed life. teddy kennedy has been pushing for universal health care since almost day one in the senate in 1962. he had the full wind at his back pushing for voting rights, civil rights. he is an unambiguous liberal icon, an american icon an international icon, who even went to south africa and spent time with bishop tutu in the release he did days of apartheid and came back and announced the apartheid regime there. everything teddy kennedy did their that the stamp of caring about people and he is one of our great political figures. tavis: you know that we have these at inflow conversations about liberalism, the "l" word, and for the balance of his career he never shied away from the word. what do you make of that? >> that is

i want to say also a special thanks to vicky and to ted jr. and to kara and patrick, as well, and to thank vicky and ted to make a special effort to be here on this special occasion. during our years together, i was personally privileged to have had senator kennedy's friends p friendship, his trust, and his confidence. he often said that representing the people of the commonwealth of massachusetts in the senate of the united states was the highest honor that he could possibly imagine. and it's certainly nothing i imagined, but it would be my highest honor, as well. to also have the encouragement and support of his family that i'd be a voice and a voice and a vote for his causes and his constituents in the senate that he loved is a blessing i can only repay by giving my very best efforts to be the best public servant i can be in the few months ahead. to attain that standard, i hope to retain the talented, hard working, and most effective staff of senator kennedy's office. they deserve that reputation, they work harder than any staff i know of,

also, we have a bootleg copy of ted kennedy's memoir. his words are far more personal, far more candid and more confessional if you will than we've heard from him over the years, and didn't shy away from the low points in his life. it's an impressive book. it includes discussions about chappaquiddick and the tragedies of his brother's assassination. whether he get to all of that and revelations with the kennedy biography here tonight. speaking of ted kennedy, massachusetts attorney general martha coakley is the first person to jump into the race to fill kennedy's seat. she will be here tonight to answer the kind of questions, "hardball" questions, a senator has to answer. and finally, who's the hollywood celebrity people would most like to see in the congress? interesting results coming your way tonight on "hardball." that is in the side show. >>> let's start with attacks on president obama's speech. next week the school children. jim greer is the chairman of the republican party in florida. he joins us right now. mr. greer, thanks for c
